dikhai de ki shua-e-basir khinchta hun

dikhā.ī de ki shuā-e-basīr khīñchtā huuñ

ġhubār khīñch jigar kā lakīr khīñchtā huuñ

dikhā.ī detā huuñ tanhā safīne meñ lekin

kināre lagte hī jamm-e-ġhafīr khīñchtā huuñ

mire jilau se koī kahkashāñ nahīñ bachtī

maiñ khīñchne pe jo aa.uuñ aḳhīr khīñchtā huuñ

umaD paḌī hai jo yaksar ḳhizāñ ke dhāre se

gulābī-e-nigah-e-nā-guzīr khīñchtā huuñ

fishār paḌtā hai gahrā koī rag-o-pai meñ

kalī kalī se subū-e-abīr khīñchtā huuñ

ki jaise ḳhud se mulāqāt ho nahīñ paatī

jahāñ se uTThā huā hai ḳhamīr khīñchtā huuñ

hazāroñ aa.ine har lahza ḳhālī hote haiñ

palaT palaT ke vahī aks-e-pīr khīñchtā huuñ

mufāhamat se jo had paar ho to ho jaa.e

bañdhā huā rag-e-jāñ se zamīr khīñchtā huuñ

dikhai de ki shua-e-basir khinchta hun

ghubar khinch jigar ka lakir khinchta hun

dikhai deta hun tanha safine mein lekin

kinare lagte hi jamm-e-ghafir khinchta hun

mere jilau se koi kahkashan nahin bachti

main khinchne pe jo aaun aKHir khinchta hun

umaD paDi hai jo yaksar KHizan ke dhaare se

gulabi-e-nigah-e-na-guzir khinchta hun

fishaar paDta hai gahra koi rag-o-pai mein

kali kali se subu-e-abir khinchta hun

ki jaise KHud se mulaqat ho nahin pati

jahan se uTTha hua hai KHamir khinchta hun

hazaron aaine har lahza KHali hote hain

palaT palaT ke wahi aks-e-pir khinchta hun

mufahamat se jo had par ho to ho jae

bandha hua rag-e-jaan se zamir khinchta hun

jin aasmanon mein sayyal-e-waqt sakit hai

kamand Dal wahan ju-e-shir khinchta hun

magar hawa-o-hawas par hi KHarch ho jae

har ek jhonke se baad-e-kasir khinchta hun

irade bhanp tere ja dhaDakta hai dar par

paDa hua pas-e-zindan asir khinchta hun

baghair bhed na an-honi se bacha jae

palaT ke aata hai aksar jo tir khinchta hun

tilism-e-zulf hifazat ka pinjra ho jaise

maze jahan ke ho kar asir khinchta hun

ye dekh kar-e-jahan ne na dhajjiyan chhoDin

teri gali ki taraf ab sharir khinchta hun

'nawed' kar to diya shahr-e-aina pamal

ab andaruni saf-e-dar-o-gir khinchta hun
